About City of Delusions

This is an Apple Books audiobook narrated by a digital voice based on a human narrator. Lethe: the fabled last bastion of mankind. It is said that the city was humanity's last hope, a place of sanctuary for those who would brave the barren wastes to enter its hallowed gates. But the truth is far, far different. Lethe is a place of lies and betrayal. The people who live within its ancient foundations resort to guile and hypocrisy to further their own ends. The decadent aristocracy lives in fortress-like mansions, ignoring the suffering of the teeming masses to engage in all manner of debauchery. The Magi Order is hopelessly corrupt, openly defying the ancient laws that once held the brotherhood in high esteem amongst the people. In this maelstrom of deceit, Miri is stripped of her powers, and is forced to battle in the arenas to regain her freedom. Rion is indoctrinated into the noble class, his scant memories are relentlessly debilitated to ensure his loyalty for an insidious cause. Meanwhile, a dashing rogue named Zeren stumbles upon a vast conspiracy that could alter the destiny of the entire city. Do not miss this sequel to Lands of Dust, a new dystopian science fiction series in the tradition of Jack Vance's The Dying Earth, Gene Wolfe's Book of the New Sun, Frank Herbert's Dune and Star Wars—as only John Triptych could tell it!
